Patent number: 9929770Abstract: An inductor that adjust characteristics of a transmit filter circuit is disposed so that the inductor and at least one of common paths, a matching circuit, a receive filter circuit, and receive paths connected to an output terminal of the transmit filter circuit define a propagation path due to magnetic-field coupling and/or electric-field coupling. This configuration does not require the addition of a circuit device to define the propagation path. It is thus possible to improve attenuation characteristics for an RF signal outside the frequency band of a transmitting signal and to improve isolation characteristics between a transmit filter circuit and a receive filter circuit without increasing the size of a radio-frequency module.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2016Date of Patent: March 27, 2018Assignee: MURATA MANUFACTURING CO., LTD.Inventors: Syuichi Onodera, Koichi Ueno, Naoya Matsumoto

Patent number: 8305397Abstract: A noise removing filter removes noise from an input image and an edge component extracting unit extracts edge components. The edge components are extracted by calculating a difference between the input image and a smoothed image, which is obtained by smoothing the input image in a smoothed image generating portion. An edge component comparing unit compares the extracted edge components with a threshold value and a sum calculating unit calculates the sum of the edge components greater than the threshold value. A control circuit determines the enhancement degree of the edges based on the sum and averaged luminance of the input image calculated by an average luminance calculating unit. An enhancement degree adjustment unit adjusts the determined enhancement degree, and an edge component enhancement unit enhances the edge components based on this enhancement degree and adds it to the input image to perform edge enhancement processing.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2007Date of Patent: November 6, 2012Assignee: Eizo Nanao CorporationInventors: Koichi Ueno, Masanori Katsura, Kazuyuki Watanabe, Yasuhiro Kobayashi, Kiyoyuki Tanaka
